本文探讨了移民网络在墨西哥农村人口外流中的作用，重点关注网络构成如何影响农村到农村、农村到城市以及农村到国际移民。使用来自墨西哥农村移民的数据是在多项选择的背景下考虑的，考虑到墨西哥农村人口可以在墨西哥境内移民，从事农业和非农业就业，也可以移民到美国。对移民网络分类测量的使用凸显了网络对移民决策影响的复杂性。当用总体指标对移民选择进行建模时，美国的移民网络似乎比墨西哥的移民网络更重要。然而，一旦网络被分解，墨西哥的某些类型的移民网络对于在该国境内移民的决定变得非常重要。此外，移民网络对移民决策的影响随着纽带的紧密程度而变化：纽带越紧密，对移民决策的影响就越大。
This article explores the role of migrant network's in Mexican rural out-migration, focusing on how network composition influences rural-to-rural, rural-to-urban, and rural-to-international migration. Using data from rural Mexico-migration is considered in a multiplechoice context that allows for the possibility that rural Mexicans can migrate within Mexico, for agricultural and non-agricultural employment, as well as to the United States. The use of disaggregated measures of migrant networks highlights the complexity of network effects on migration decisions. When modelling the migration choice with aggregate measures, US migrant networks appear more important than migrant networks in Mexico. Once networks are disaggregated, however, certain types of migrant networks in Mexico become very important in the decision to migrate within the country. Further, the impact of migrant networks on the decision to migrate varies with the closeness of the bond: the closer the bond, the greater the impact on the migration decision.
